Chinese New Year is all about gathering and catching up with the family – but sometimes the adults need some time to catch up amongst themselves, and the best way to keep the kids entertained is to put on some exciting shows for them to marvel at.
Here’s a list of Disney+ shows to keep your kids glued to the screen while the adults do their thing. But from reliving Star Wars memories to performing your own at-home karaoke with Encanto, we’re sure the adults will end up having a fun time too!
Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season2
Fennec Shand in a scene from “STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH”, exclusively on Disney+.
In season 1, we were introduced to The Bad Batch, a group of elite Clone troopers who defected from the Empire and set out to save their fellow clones from imminent destruction. While their mission was successful, the capital of Kamino, Tipoca City was sunk, and Crosshair parted ways with the group. But new missions, allies and enemies await them in season 2, and new adventures await young and old viewers!
Initially, this list is for keeping kids occupied. But we won’t blame you adults joining them to get your Star Wars fix too!

If you’re just like us, you haven’t been able to get Encanto’s songs out of your head since the movie premiered in 2021. Whether it’s because they’re such bops or because your kids keep singing the tunes around the house, why not kick-start a karaoke session at your open house with the Madrigal Family in this special concert spectacular that reunites the original voice cast?
Don’t talk, but sing about Bruno this Lunar New Year with Encanto at The Hollywood Bowl!
If those new additions are not enough, dive into the treasure trove of Disney+ shows and family movies that will surely keep the kids and the kids at heart entertained enough to make it to the eve of Lunar New Year. Happy watching!
